Since 10/11/2009
 John Blewis
My health was going into a direction that I was not happy with earlier in 2009, my weight at 230lbs. I told my self numerous time that I needed to change something in myself. After working out of the country this year I was inspired to finally change. I changed my diet, started to run, stopped drinking everyday, stopped smoking and found some self motivation inside myself to live a healthy lifestyle. This all happened since April of 2009. Since that time I have run (4) 5K races, (1) 10K race and I am running my first Half-Marathon on October 17th in Vero Beach. I have never felt better about myself. My family has been supportive and now my little girls want to run in races like DADDY. Running has forever changed my life and I am proud of what I have done so far. I feel so good everytime I get done running. I remember the feeling I had the first 5K i ran earlier this year. I ran it in 30 minutes and was happy just to finish. My last 5K I ran I finished under 25 minutes. My first 10K I finished in under 53 minutes and know I will accomplish my goal of under 2 hours in my first Half Marathon on October 17. I know I will do it. My training has been great and average about 17 miles a week for now with my longest run on the weekend of at least 7 Miles and some over 10 miles with energy to burn. I hope I can inspire at least one person in there life to achieve something they never thought they would do. Just like myself!!!

WD YDT (What did you do today?) |

Turkey Trot! Did well today, was a little nervous at the start with the crowd. Over 1500 people for this 5K. It was a slow start but I was able to make up time during the 2nd mile. Broke 23 minutes and my new PR of 22:46. I was not sure it was possible with all the running traffic but everything went great.

This was a "A" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 4 out of 5.
Race Notes: I could have ran a little harder earlier. I left a bit out there. Happy with results but can do better.

I did get my PR Saturday on my second 10K. First in my age group and 14th overall out of 58. I left a little bit out there on the run. I feel I could have been at least 30 seconds faster, but am extremely happy with results.
